Having a Ball with DJ MikeQ

When I found out MikeQ was coming to Bucharest, i thought "Wow! A really cool ballroom DJ, in the flesh!"

But why was I so excited?

The "ballroom concept", in a nutshell, is a modern-day Cinderella story. It started in New York’s LGBT scene in the ‘80s, in the form of a parade/competition, famously documented in the film Paris Is Burning. The contestants, each representing a "house" (inspired by models representing fashion houses) were walking or "voguing" the runway (performing poses similar to the ones in Vogue magazine, which became a type of stylized modern dance, brought to mainstream by Madonna's "Vogue" video).

So we caught up with him on the terrace of one of the biggest buildings in the world -photo here- just before soundcheck.
